2 Corinthians 10:12
For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.

יְהַלֶּלְךָ זָר וְלֹא-פִיךָ נָכְרִי וְאַל-שְׂפָתֶֽיךָ׃
Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.
רָאִיתָ אִישׁ חָכָם בְּעֵינָיו תִּקְוָה לִכְסִיל מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃
Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
οὐ γὰρ ὁ ἑαυτὸν συνίστων ἐκεῖνός ἐστιν δόκιμος ἀλλ' ὃν ὁ κύριος συνίστησιν
For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.
ὁ Φαρισαῖος σταθεὶς πρὸς ἑαυτὸν ταῦτα προσηύχετο Ὁ θεός εὐχαριστῶ σοι ὅτι οὐκ εἰμὶ ὥσπερ οἱ λοιποὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἅρπαγες ἄδικοι μοιχοί ἢ καὶ ὡς οὗτος ὁ τελώνης·
The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
οὐ γὰρ τολμήσω λαλεῖν τι ὧν οὐ κατειργάσατο Χριστὸς δι' ἐμοῦ εἰς ὑπακοὴν ἐθνῶν λόγῳ καὶ ἔργῳ
For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed,
אָכֹל דְּבַשׁ הַרְבּוֹת לֹא-טוֹב וְחֵקֶר כְּבֹדָם כָּבֽוֹד׃
It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory.
Ἀρχόμεθα πάλιν ἑαυτοὺς συνιστάνειν εἴ μὴ χρῄζομεν ὥς τινες συστατικῶν ἐπιστολῶν πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἢ ἐξ ὑμῶν συστατικῶν
Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you?
οὐ γὰρ πάλιν ἑαυτοὺς συνιστάνομεν ὑμῖν ἀλλὰ ἀφορμὴν διδόντες ὑμῖν καυχήματος ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν ἵνα ἔχητε πρὸς τοὺς ἐν προσώπῳ καυχωμένους καὶ οὐ καρδίᾳ
For we commend not ourselves again unto you, but give you occasion to glory on our behalf, that ye may have somewhat to answer them which glory in appearance, and not in heart.
אָמְנָם כִּי אַתֶּם-עָם וְעִמָּכֶם תָּמוּת חָכְמָֽה׃
No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.
